Seven Gods Guardian: Gun King Mission

Chapter 263 The Origin of the Wound

After saying that, the father and son quickly put on their clothes, casually straightened their slightly messy hair and clothes, and turned to walk towards the door.

After making sure that they had left the room, Wang Zhan carefully pushed open the cabinet door and tiptoed out of the cabinet.

He walked quickly to the bedside, looked at the messy bed, and the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano.

When he thought that poor Zhou Xuemei would continue to suffer such inhuman torture and might even have her innocence completely tarnished by this group of morally corrupt people, he became extremely anxious and secretly vowed to save Zhou Xuemei from this sea of ​​suffering.

But when he calmed down and thought about it carefully, he couldn't help feeling helpless.

After all, this involves other people's internal family affairs. As an outsider, it seems difficult to find a suitable entry point to lend a helping hand.

But no matter what, he wanted to try to rescue Zhou Xuemei.

At this moment, Wang Zhan held his breath and concentrated. After making sure that the father and son had gone far away, he began to pace back and forth anxiously in the room.

My mind was a mess and I had no idea what to do next.

At this moment, Wang Zhan heard the sound of footsteps approaching from afar. His heart tightened, and he quickly dodged and hid under the bed without thinking.

With a slight creak, the door slowly opened. Wang Zhan peered through the gap, staring intently at the legs gradually approaching the bed.

Relying on the characteristics in his memory, he quickly identified that the person who walked into the room was Zhou Xuemei.

When Zhou Xuemei turned around and was about to close the door, Wang Zhan seized the opportunity and crawled out from under the bed like an arrow.

This sudden change caught Zhou Xuemei, who had just turned around, off guard. She was terrified and stood there frozen as if struck by lightning.

She was so frightened that even the bath towel that was originally wrapped loosely around her body slipped to the ground in an instant.

In an instant, Wang Zhan's unobstructed gaze fell on Zhou Xuemei's body. She was covered in shocking wounds, many of which were hideous scars.

Wang Zhan was so shocked by this scene that he couldn't close his mouth. However, he only took a quick glance and hurriedly looked away. At the same time, a shy blush quietly climbed onto his cheeks.

Zhou Xuemei hurriedly picked up the fallen bath towel and wrapped herself in it.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, and her voice was full of fear and astonishment: "You...why are you here?" Faced with Zhou Xuemei's questioning, Wang Zhan took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner panic.

He calmed himself down, mustered up the courage to tell her his desire to save her from suffering, and told Zhou Xuemei what he had just overheard.

Zhou Xuemei smiled bitterly and said softly, "Do you think I don't know? In fact, I knew a long time ago that I was not their biological daughter."

There was endless sadness and helplessness in her voice.

Hearing Zhou Xuemei's words, Wang Zhan couldn't help but ask with a puzzled look on his face, "If that's the case, then why don't you just leave them? Instead, you submit so obediently to their manipulations and willingly endure their wanton bullying and insults?"

Zhou Xuemei sighed deeply and said slowly: "Leave them? But where can I go? A long time ago, I heard them mention with my own ears that I was an abandoned baby picked up in the snow. I don't know who my biological parents are!" At this point, Zhou Xuemei's eyes turned slightly red and tears welled up in them.

"Ever since that night several years ago, when they, father and son, got drunk once again and brutally raped me... Since then, I've silently endured their relentless abuse and harm. After so much torture, my body has long been broken and riddled with wounds."

"Even after I got pregnant, they asked me to have an abortion. This happened more than once or twice. Now I don't even have the ability to be a mother anymore."

As Zhou Xuemei spoke, she subconsciously bit her lower lip, as if trying to suppress the surging pain in her heart.

Wang Zhan listened quietly to Zhou Xuemei's tragic experience. His eyes gradually burned with rage and his fists clenched unconsciously.

After Zhou Xuemei finished her story, Wang Zhan said firmly, "I'm taking you away! No matter what, leaving here with me is far better than staying here and suffering endless torture!"

However, when Wang Zhan extended a helping hand to Zhou Xuemei with good intentions, she just shook her head slightly, with an unshakable determination in her eyes.

She opened her red lips and replied in a firm tone, "No, I really can't leave with you. I am now like a withered flower or a decaying willow tree, my body already broken and extremely weak. If I go with you, I'm afraid I will only become a burden and a nuisance to you."

Then, Zhou Xuemei took a deep breath and continued, "Besides, they will never let me go easily. Once we fail to escape and are caught again, the consequences we face will be hundreds or thousands of times more miserable than now!" When she said this, she couldn't help but tremble, as if recalling the torture and suffering she had suffered.

"Look at all these shocking scars on my body. They are all caused by them! Whenever I think back to those painful experiences in the past, fear surges into my heart like a tide, making my hair stand on end."

The shocking wounds, scars, and even whip marks on her body were all left after she was caught while escaping.

After calming down a bit, she continued, "Although they treated me so harshly, it's undeniable that in terms of daily life, they treated me quite well. Everything I have now, including food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, all depends on them. Without their support, I might have perished on that bitterly cold day, frozen to death in the streets."

After hearing Zhou Xuemei's heartbreaking words, Wang Zhan felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and it hurt so much that he could hardly breathe.

He could never have imagined that this beautiful and charming woman in front of him was burdened with such a heavy and tragic fate.

At this moment, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart. It turned out that sometimes, being too beautiful as a girl was not necessarily a blessing.

Wang Zhan was silent for a long time, and suddenly a look of determination flashed across the depths of his eyes, as if he had made some important decision.

He stared intently at the person before him and spoke solemnly, "You don't need to worry about becoming a burden to me. Since I've decided to save you from danger, I won't be afraid of any trouble or obstacles that may arise. As for those who intend to harm you, rest assured, I will do my utmost to protect your safety and ensure that you remain unharmed!"

Hearing these words, Zhou Xuemei couldn't help but show a trace of emotion that was hard to conceal in her beautiful eyes.

However, she was still filled with hesitation and confusion. Finally, she sighed helplessly and said slowly, "There's no deep connection between you and me. We've only met briefly a few times. Honestly, there's really no need for you to help me. Even if you wanted to, I don't need it."
